Sept 12: River-Facing Edge of Silos Comes Down Slowly

According to the US Army Corps of Engineers, work has slowed down because the concrete used in this structure is harder to break apart than that used in the other buildings. This contradicts claims by the owners that the Silos were inherently unstable and unsafe.

Machines chip away at the river-facing edge of the silos, with barges along the edge catching significant quantity of debris. The metal structure facing the river folds and hangs over the barge.

Meanwhile, concerns about debris in the river are increased with the proximity of work to the water and strength of recent storms. Concerns are magnified by the known gaps in the dock, as shown in photos below.
